There was a lonesome cowboy, who rode his horse all day,
|
At night he slept in the moonlight, till he heard that midnight
|
train...
|
|
And then that lonesome cowboy, looked up at the stars in the sky,
|
"I will leave my land and my horses, on that midnight train I will
|
ride,
|
|
To the city, far across the plains,
|
To that city, on that midnight train, here it comes,
|
Choo choo choo... on that midnight train"
|
|
And then that lonesome cowboy, stepped into a bar,
|
A pretty girl slid over nice and easy, "Boy your money won't go far."
|
|
She took him outside to an alley, he got dragged into a fight,
|
And a bullet sent him dying, and he cursed that moonless night
|
|
In that city, far across the plains,
|
In that city, he could hear that midnight train, down the line;
|
Choo choo choo... he could hear that midnight train
|
|
And now that lonesome cowboy is lain beneath the clay,
|
His horses they're still waiting, for he is gone away;
|
|
Now if you think the grass is greener on the far side of the hill
|
All you cowboys, take it easy, there's no grass there at all.
|
|
In that city, far across the plains,
|
In that city, you'd better miss that midnight train, here it comes
|
Choo choo choo... you'd better miss that midnight train
|
Choo choo choo... that train is coming for you.
